Yan (tributary of Pliva)

The Yang River is formed 13 km south of Shipova between Babich and Stroitsa villages ^[1] by the confluence of several tributaries at an altitude of 612 m. In the upstream, it flows into a deep canyon whose steep cliffs reach 200 m. It flows northward to Shipova.

9 km from the city are the Yansky Islands - a valley about 1 km long, where Yang is poured into numerous channels, which are then connected again. Yan Islands are a popular tourist destination.

The canyon of the Yan River is composed of Mesozoic limestone . In the valley of Jani is a Roman monument carved into the rock.
